The Determinants of Environmental Migrants' Conflict Perception
TL;DR: The authors studied the relationship between environmental migration and conflict at the micro level and found that migrants who experienced gradual, long-term environmental events in their former homes are more likely to perceive conflict in their new location than those having experienced sudden, short-term events.

Kathleen Hermans,Setenay Kizilkaya +1 more
TL;DR: This study synthesizes research on how climate risk perceptions influence human mobility, revealing that perceptions of livelihood and emotional threats drive migration decisions, and in-situ adaptation and place attachment play critical roles in shaping mobility outcomes.

At Risk: Natural Hazards, People's Vulnerability, and Disasters.
TL;DR: The authors argue that the social, political and economic environment is as much a cause of disasters as the natural environment and that the concept of vulnerability is central to an understanding of disasters and their prevention or mitigation, exploring the extent and ways in which people gain access to resources.

TL;DR: It is explained how, in principle, early warning systems could be established to detect the proximity of some tipping points, and critically evaluate potential policy-relevant tipping elements in the climate system under anthropogenic forcing.
